Barcelona Reportedly Step Up Miralem Pjanic Hunt After Manchester City Rejected

Barcelona are reportedly hoping to sign Juventus star Miralem Pjanic after the Turin club are said to have turned down an approach for the midfielder by Manchester City.

It was reported by Tuttosport (h/t Joe Short of the Daily Express) that City enquired about Pjanic's availability after top target Jorginho joined Chelsea, only for the Bianconeri to politely reject their advances.

Barca are also in the market for midfield reinforcements this summer and are believed to be interested, while Juve may require some sales in the coming weeks after breaking the bank to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
